The IPSI Secretariat is pleased to announce the final call for online participation in the Tenth Global Conference of the International Partnership for the Satoyama Initiative (IPSI-10), to be held in Riobamba, Ecuador, from 3–5 March 2026.

During IPSI-10, we expect to adopt the Actionable Implementation Plan (AIP) to advance the IPSI Strategy and Plan of Action 2023-2030, which was adopted at IPSI-9 held in Akita, Japan, in 2023. We hope to discuss how IPSI and its members can work collaboratively towards achieving our Strategic Objectives at this critical time.
